Method and server for providing picture data to computing terminal

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and server for providing picture data to a computing terminal. The method comprises: receiving a picture access request sent by the computing terminal, with the picture access request including picture information to be accessed and terminal type information of the computing terminal; acquiring original picture data corresponding to the picture information in the picture access request, with the original picture data including multiple frames of picture data; according to the terminal type information of the computing terminal, determining the number of frames of picture data to be provided to the computing terminal, and extracting from the original picture data the determined frames of data to form picture data that is processed; and sending the processed picture data to the computing terminal. Therefore, the problem that a mobile terminal is low in loading speed and high in network traffic consumption when accessing moving pictures is solved, the mobile terminal is enabled to quickly load the moving pictures, and traffic consumption for accessing the moving pictures is reduced.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of an invention patent application with a filing date of November 26, 2012, an application number of 201210488925.6, and a title of "Method and Server for Providing Image Data to Computing Terminals". technical field [0002] The invention relates to the field of image processing, in particular to a method and server for providing picture data to computing terminals. Background technique [0003] With the rapid development of mobile devices, the types and functions of mobile devices are becoming more and more abundant. At present, most mobile devices provide a picture browsing function, therefore, more and more people browse pictures through mobile devices. [0004] With the diversification of picture types, many pictures contain multiple frames of picture data, and such pictures are also called dynamic pictures. For example, a common Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) picture can save multiple frames of picture data as a p...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although the feature that GIF pictures can contain multiple frames of picture data brings dynamic visual enjoyment to users, due to the limitations of mobile devices, for example, hardware configuration and network bandwidth are far inferior to some fixed devices (such as PCs), so , using mobile devices to browse dynamic pictures is prone to slow or even failed loading of pictures, which wastes users' time and often causes users to be unable to view pictures normally

[0005] Moreover, because dynamic pictures generally have a large amount of data, compared with browsing text, browsing dynamic pictures needs to consume more network bandwidth and network traffic. High, so frequent browsing of dynamic pictures can easily cause the user's network fee to seriously exceed the budget
